Happy 28th (👀) Birthday to my first born gal.

The eagle has landed! 👠🔎🎥

One of my least favorite things about living in space (besides the bathroom) was the sleeping bag situation. Since the sleeping bags are permanently on the Space Station they have this little removable liner, kind of like a bed sheet, that gets swapped out either every 30 days or whenever a new crew member takes over the sleeping bag. When you combine not changing your sheets too often, with 4 months of daily workouts and no showers, you get a stinky situation 🥴

Happy International Day of Awesomeness ⭐️ I hope everyone has a steady stream of awesomesauce flowing through them today. If you can be anything - be awesome.

Deployment of @EchoStar XXV confirmed

She needs all the luck she can get. #Scarpetta premieres March 11 on Prime Video.

Great job @MattAadastra! Excited about NASA’s future!

There is no such thing as a minor part of a lunar lander. Every single screw, wire, valve, fastener, bracket... is critical to mission success. Each one of the lander's thousands of pieces must be tough enough to handle the shock of launch, the extreme temperatures of space, and the harsh elements of the lunar environment, yet still be flexible enough to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. It's a tall order! That's why we design, analyze, and test obsessively because every piece matters and space doesn't grade on a curve.

One of the most amazing challenges of living in space is - EVERYTHING FLOATS. It becomes second nature to wave away wires, cables, or random objects floating by. We even have habitat maintenance training dedicated to working with loose wires and cables - how to properly inspect them, keep them from getting tangled, and even how to use tape or bungee cords to create an organized cable highway. It's all part of the awesome weird and wonderful adventure of living in space.

RT @Int_Machines: @LanterisSpace , a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuitive Machines, was selected by @L3HarrisTech to support the developmen…

We owe so much to them. ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸

We wrangled our Lunar Ladies and Space Cowboys to celebrate #GoTexanDay the only way we know how — boots on Earth, wheels on the Moon. 🤠⭐

I absolutely loved doing space interviews with kids - some of their questions will surprise you! One kid got a little tangled in his questions and I had to hold back a smile when I heard him say 'dang it' while his mike was still on. It happens, I have daily dang it moments myself.

EchoStar XXV has shipped ahead of its launch. 🛰️ Congrats to @EchoStar on this milestone!

Lunar regolith (lunar dust) is brutal and an ongoing engineering challenge.  It's like the finest talcum powder mixed with glass shards that has velcro level electrostatic capabilities, but it's just another part of the lunar game and the folks at Intuitive Machines love a challenge. IM1 & 2 have taught us faster than any sim ever could and we are better prepared than ever to launch IM-3. Bring it on lunar dust - you may be tough, but we're tougher. #ToTheMoon

Astronaut training spans over years with all kinds of different classes, lectures, exercises.. so you'd think when you finally get into space you'd be 100% prepared - but you're not. It may be one of the only jobs that requires you to relearn everything on the jobsite. NASA does a great job, but nothing can prep you for the constant reality of microgravity. Brushing teeth, clipping nails, opening packages, working with tools... every single skill and every movement you've ever known has to be adjusted to life without gravity. It was an amazing and often humbling experience.

The Moon doesn't have a magnetic field but the Reiner Gamma lunar swirl hosts one of the strongest localized crustal magnetic anomalies and we're not sure why. Intuitive Machines IM-3 mission will deliver science payloads and tech demos to collect data and unlock the secrets of this mysterious lunar swirl and its magnetic field.

Happy Birthday to the Chuck Norris of space, the one and only @AstroPeggy. Keep Ninja-ing the universe my friend, you are one of a kind!
